I have several years of experience with extensive training in modern psychoanalytic psychotherapy. I work with people coping with depression, anxiety, loss, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, and LGBT challenges. Additionally, I specialize in artists, athletes, chronic illness, and psychosomatics. I work at a gentle and non-confrontational pace. Whether it be in work, relationships, play, or spirituality, I will help you unfreeze aspects of your life that feel frozen, then, help you to decide how you want to negotiate the details of your new flow.

How Psychotherapy Can Help
Various events or traumas in a person's life can stifle the growth of dendrites in the brain. If emotional or relational traumas begin at an early age, the right hemisphere is shown to have limited growth in development based on neuroscientific research. Since the right hemisphere is where emotional responses are regulated, any disturbance in its growth can hinder emotional processing in a person. Luckily, recent neuroscience shows that talking in therapy can mend these dendrites and can help to re-develop the right hemisphere for easier functioning. In essence, it does not matter what you are talking about in therapy, as long as you are talking. However, speaking with a therapist in particular is important as it can provide certain expertise that friends and family, alone, cannot offer your brain.
